“…The array transmits the light back to a custom Alakai spectrometer equipped with an ICCD array (Alakai's Maui-I) for measurement of the return Raman signal. The custom spectrometer and Maui ICCD provide at least 500x more useable signal (than SAFR) and provides overall detection sensitivity very similar to Alakai's PRIED sensor 7 but in a package that is less than half the size and weight. Argos weighs 7-9 lbs.…”

Alakai Defense Systems has recently developed what we believe is the first one-handed UV Raman sensor for standoff trace detection of chemicals, which we refer to as Argos. Argos is the higher performance version of lower cost SAFR sensor, since it has increased range and trace detection capability. Since it is lightweight, Argos can also be deployed on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV’s) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Data is presented showing how Argos detection performance is essentially the same as Alakai’s proven trace detection sensor PRIED, however it is ~70% smaller and lighter.

Alakai Defense Systems has recently developed what we believe is the first one-handed UV Raman sensor for standoff trace detection of chemicals, which we refer to as Argos. Argos, equipped with increased range and detection capability, is the higher performance version of the lower cost SAFR sensor. And because they are lightweight, both Argos and SAFR can be deployed onto unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Data will be presented showing Argos detection performance on residue and trace samples at ranges from 2 m to 15 m. Further, data will be presented from UGV and UAV experiments performed with the SAFR system in warehouse and outdoor applications.
